The Organization Study, 1975

This is a survey carried out by Norsk Gallup A/S in 1975 on behalf of “Maktutredningen”. The topic was the population's participation in organisations. This file contains data from the national survey that was carried out as part of “Maktutredningen” (NOU 1982:3), carried out on a representative sample of the Norwegian people. 2,203 people were interviewed by Norsk Gallup. The interviews were carried out in February-March 1975. The interviewees were to be over 15 years of age. The interview form only includes questions from “Maktutredningen”. The aim was to survey people's connection to organizations and associations. In addition, several questions about political activity and community involvement were taken up. The question about campaigns formed only a limited part of the overall survey (Olsen & Sætren, 1980). The interview survey was to investigate the organized and their attitudes towards their organisation, other organisations, attitudes towards various issues and towards society in general. People's political activity was important, both through the traditional channels and campaigns. In addition, several questions were also asked to investigate the unorganized in Norwegian society. This group makes up around a third of the Norwegian population. This was one of the reasons why the sample group was made as large as 2203; the material needed be representative of two groups; the organized and the unorganized.本数据集源自挪威盖洛普有限公司（Norsk Gallup A/S）1975年受"权力调查委员会（Maktutredningen）"委托开展的专项调查，主题为民众的组织参与情况。 本文件包含作为"权力调查委员会（Maktutredningen，NOU 1982:3）"核心组成部分的全国性调查数据，该调查以挪威民众的代表性抽样样本为调研对象。挪威盖洛普有限公司共完成2203名受访者的访谈，访谈时段为1975年2月至3月，受访者需年满15周岁。本次访谈问卷仅纳入"权力调查委员会"指定的调研问题，旨在考察民众与各类组织、协会的联结关系。此外，问卷还设置了若干关于政治参与与社区投入的问题，而关于各类运动的相关内容仅占整体调研的极小篇幅（Olsen与Sætren，1980）。 本次访谈调查旨在探究已组织化群体及其对自身所属组织、其他组织的态度，对各类社会议题的看法以及对整体社会的认知。民众的政治参与活动——既包括传统参与渠道，也涵盖各类社会运动——是重要的调研方向。此外，问卷还设置了多道问题以考察挪威社会中的非组织化群体，该群体约占挪威总人口的三分之一。这也是本次调研将样本量扩大至2203的关键原因：调研材料需同时覆盖已组织化与非组织化两类人群，以确保样本的全面代表性。
